AGAINST LIQUOR CLUES.

One of the outgrowths of temperance re- form by law in Massachusetts are liquor clubs. These clubs formed to evade the law, and they have fourished extensively in several of the cities of the State But they will flourish no longer, for bill has been passed in both branches of the legislature which is intended to suppress them.
 This bill is severe enough. It says that all buildings or places used by clubs for the purpose of selling, distributing or dispensing intoxicating liquors to their members or oth- CTS shall be deemed common nuisance, and whoever keeps or maintains, or assists in keeping or maintaining such a common nuisance, shall be punished by fine of not less than $50 nor more than $1O0, and by imprisonment in the house of correction for not less than three nor more than twelve months; provided, that in the city or town in which the inhabitants vote that license shall be granted, the licensing board may, upon application therefor, and the payment to the treasurer of such city or town of such a fee as said board may determine, the same to be not less than $50 nor more than $500, grant to any club that they may deem 8 proper organization and not injurious to the welfare, good order and morality of the com- munity, and which was not organized for the apparent purpose of engaging in or giving employment to any of it's members by en- gazing in the business of selling, distribut- ing or dispensing intoxicating liquors to its members or others, special club license au- thorizing the distributing and dispensing of intoxicating liquors by said club the premises occupied by it, and to be specified and described in said license, to it's members, which license may be revoked at any time.
 There is said to be no doubt that the Gov ernor will sign the bill. It will not seriously interfere with legitimate clubs, and if en- forced as it probably will be the ilegitimate ones will have to eo ----.--- --

 Window blinds and curtains occupy the attention of artistic housewives. The white muslin and lace curtains that have shaded drawing room windows for so many years, always put up in the same way and always conscientiously renewed at stated intervals, are now no longer the height of fashion, though they are still seen in houses where the last thew thing" is not seized upon with avidity, and where the mistress is reluctant to espouss novelties which do not please her and is-may we say-old fashioned.
 Thin, pale Indian silk curtains in a pale shade of terra cotta, china blue or olive green Especially the frst) are to be seer in drawing-room windows secured by brass rods fastened to the woodwork. They are narrow and sometimes tied in the center with ribbon or velvet bows The upper part of the win dows are open to the light, but shaded by the ordinary blinds or by deep valance of embroidered linen or muslin sold on pur- pose The fancy India muslin curtains are popular, and so are colored canvas ones and fancy canvas with broad lines of tapework. If the curtains are attached by rods to the high sash of the window, ordinary curtains split in half are sufficient, and less than half the length of ordinary ones is required, so that they are economical wear. l allude principally to the usual French windows opening in the middle. Of course two cur tains to each window are necessary. Where unsightly objects are to be hidden from view

Henry Ward Beecher.

Thomas W. Knox's ''Life and Work of
 Henry Ward Beecher" is complete, impar-
 tial and authentic record of MT. Beecher's
 public career and private life from the cra-
 dle to the grave.
 It tells of his birthplace and early home
 of his boyhood and youth; how he contem-
 plated running away to sea and the prepare
 tions he made for it; of his college days and
 the pranks he played; of his marriage; of
 his work as country minister; of his labors
 for the down-trodden slave; of his art as a
 preacher; of his power as an orator; of his
 work in England during our civil war; of his
 editorial and political work; of Plymouth
 church; of the great scandal and the charges
 made by Theodore Hilton; of the memorable
 trial that followed; of his travels in Europe;
 of his illness, death, etc.
 The author narrates Mir. Beecher's strug- gles and experiences while a poor country minister, when his entire income was less than three hundred dollars per annum, a part of which was paid in corn potatoes and other products of the soil. He tells how at this period in his life, when increasing family compelled him to build larger house to live in, he hauled the logs himself and his neighbors aided him to put it up. The
 whitewash and paint he applied himself. He chopped the wood, drew the water, peeled the potatoes, cooked the food, served it. washed the dishes and cleaned up the house He performed all these duties and yet rode twenty miles through the woods and across the prairie to the log school house in which religious service was held, preached, rode back again, cooked the dinner, preached in his own church, returned to nurse his sick wife and attend to the children; got the sup
 per and spent the evening in his own prayer meeting.
 At the height of his fame it would have been impossible to find man on the face of the earth on whom the sun of fortune shone more brilliantly than on Henry Ward Beech CT. His influence was great; his income was enormous; he was in great demand a lee turer and speaker. Soon the breath of scan dal spread over the land; suspicious were ex cited; the scandal grew; friends were es stranged; the church was in arms; and the country rang with sensational stories, and | the outcome was suit for one hundred thou 1 sand dollars damages brought by Theodore Hilton against MT. Beecher. The trial lasted six months The jury did not agree. MT Beecher's expenses alone in this great trial were over one hundred thousand dollars. The story is fully told in this volume. In every chapter the author weaves in anecdote after anecdote, incident after incident, story after story.
 The fine steel-plate portrait of MT. Beech CT is from photograph taken just before his death. It also contains fine portrait ot Mrs. Beeeher and many other fine engravings. In short the volume comments itself to everyone at sight, because it is so good, SC handsome and so cheap. Price two dollars Mir. Henry Bushnell, or this city, is the agent for the book in this vicinity.
